Daily life of a cultivation judge

With everything somewhat resuming to what it was before, Yang Qing closed his eyes as he circulated his art and used himself as the center, gently guiding the motion of the colorful light curtain that was flowing around him. Because his aura was the conduit, it didn't take long before he integrated his formed creatures into the cycle, sending their essence into Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan who was at the center of the storm had his eyes flicker in surprise as he felt like his body was being cleansed, reformed, renewed, restored, and strengthened all at the same time. He felt like he was being massaged by the very heavens itself. The level of comfort he felt wasn't only on his body, but on his spirit too as he could feel lighter in heart and thought which translated into a level of free-spiritedness.

"No, I need to focus.." Ma Yuan hurriedly said as he cleared his head of superfluous thoughts and focused his mind on what he needed to do.

Yang Qing carefully sensed all the changes happening to Ma Yuan's body as he felt the latent trauma from his crippling that was deeply entrenched in every essence of his being, slowly get washed away by the essence light waves produced from all the components of his abode.

With him as the guide, the efficacy of the transformation of Ma Yuan's body more than doubled as he could see each and every minute change happening within his body down to his soul.

"I may not be able to restore his core and dantian but I can elevate his body to the maximum level that a late-stage core formation cultivator can support.."

Even though he didn't know the exact mechanics of what was happening, Ma Yuan could feel the transformation his body was undergoing. It was growing stronger, and lighter, and he could somehow feel that he now had an intimate familiarity with the components around him. He could vaguely trace a bit of what Yang Qing was talking about. It felt like a whole new world had opened up to him. He couldn't help but feel excited at the realms he would reach with his herbology skills.

Both Yang Qing and Ma Yuan quickly lost themselves in their own worlds of experimentation. Four hours quickly flew by and Yang Qing had to cut off his experimentation. Everything needed to be done with measure. Thin was the line between medicine and poison. Ma Yuan's body was already close to saturation by the time he stopped.

What Yang Qing was aiming at was the transformation of his entire body so that it could maintain peak form without needing copious amounts of food rich in spiritual qi to barely maintain. His body was still operated with the need of his dantian and core at the center, even in its absence, which was why he was always straining.

What Yang Qing aimed for was evolving it, by telling it, it no longer needed a core to maintain itself. However it still needed a substitute, and Yang Qing was hoping farming would be it. A cyclic relationship established between Ma Yuan and the grounds he took care of.

But all of that was still a concept at the moment, it remained to be seen whether it could be actualized. Ma Yuan and his daughter left for the Medical Valley, much to the complaint of Ma Ling who did not want to part with her new friends.

"I hope one year will be enough. Ma Ling's treatment should be finished within that period, and then they will have to plan for their new lives in Summerfield Kingdom. I have to ensure Ma Yuan is prepared as much as possible.." thought Yang Qing as he gazed at Ma Yuan's departing silhouette.

With Ma Yuan set to start a life with Ma Ling in Summerfield Kingdom at Yang Qing's suggestion, Yang Qing had always been thinking and making plans on how to ensure their safety as much as he could, once they left.

One of those plans included ridding Ma Yuan's body of the hidden traumas left over from being crippled, while the others were centered around self-defense measures such as arrays, talismans, natural treasures, and the like.

The sudden changes to his abode and the effect it had on Ma Yuan gave him a headstart on one of those measures and he couldn't help but form other ideas centered around. The whole night quickly passed by.

"This should be more than enough.." Yang Qing muttered wearing a pleased expression on his face, as the plan he had was more or less refined to meet the needs he had for Ma Yuan.

"Huh, it's morning already?" he added in surprise when he saw the morning rays hit his eyes as he was getting up from beneath the green flame tree.

He stretched his limbs a bit out of habit before he made his way to one of the tables and had his breakfast which was from the leftovers he had gotten from his trip as he was establishing contact with his intelligence network.

"Time to meet Vice Warden Shao An.."

...

Medical Valley, Deputy Palace Master Ren Shu's courtyard.

"You seem different.. you've made gains in the art haven't you?" asked Ren Shu who shared a round table with Shao An and Yang Qing.

Yang Qing as the junior was dutifully pouring tea for the two of them before he shamelessly decided to drink his straight from the teapot. He was in Ren Shu's abode, it was no different than being in his abode. He could be as free and shameless as he could.

With a satisfied grin, Yang Qing answered,

"Mmh, It was from a flash of insights i received yesterday.."

Yang Qing went on to describe the scene he saw at his abode and the treatment plan he had made for Ma Yuan.

"What do you think, is it feasible?" asked Yang Qing.

While they were not officially master and disciple, Ren Shu was the one who guided Yang Qing through the use of his physique and his cultivation art. If there was anyone who could help him refine his process, it was him.

Sensing that this discussion might end up going for who knows how long, Shao An cleared his throat as he said,

"Yang Qing shouldn't you finish with the list first before you continue the discussion.."

"Oh, sorry..." Yang Qing said with a sheepish smile as he scratched the back of his head.

"From the list, I have settled on Luo Suyin, the crescent moon blade spirit, Gao Wei the blue-grade healer, and Zhu Qing the blue-grade formation master, it's the last spot that I am struggling with, I was hoping you could help.."

"Mmh.." Shao An said with a curt nod.

"Of those remaining on the list I gave you there is Pan Xing the rogue cultivator, Han Lei the assassin from the Ghost Viper Court, Sun Tao the crown prince of Woodstone Kingdom and Li Chen the former high elder of Thunderclap Sect.

In their time at the Insitute, they have shown to make peace with their pasts and i can say theirs decency in them, as for all, they're only here out of a single bad choice they made out of a desperate moment.

But when it comes to the programme, though it is called a rehabilitation programme, its true essence is to make the most out of those we have. Of those four who do you think we can extract the most benefits out of? It's why Gao Wei was on the list in the first place.

For me, I'd go with Han Lei, the skills he gained and the means with which he led the Ghost Viper Court to its demise show he is a highly resourceful person. You can make the most out of him.

Though you could do the same out of the rest too, they are palace realm experts with tonnes of experience after all, but I think Han Lei is better. His life as an assassin leaves him predisposed to think and see things that you may not necessarily see or think of.."

"I was leaning on him and Pan Xing for the fourth spot, but after your guidance, I think Han Lei would be a better fit.."

"Mmh.. When do you want to meet them? As part of their program, they will be assigned a courtyard in a secluded location. You will be able to access it through your medallion after their release.."

"Could we do it at the end of the month, after my vacation is done?"

"I see no problem with it. When you're free just tell me.."

"I will.."
